Tesla founder Elon Musk has decided not to join Twitter's board, the social media firm’s chief executive tweeted, an unexpected twist to a saga that’s captivated the online community for days.
He wasted no time in appealing to the service’s users about potential changes, from adding an edit button for tweets to giving automatic verification marks to premium users.
Musk’s tweets have enthralled the social media sphere since that initial disclosure. His open musings about Twitter - including turning its headquarters into a homeless shelter - drew in Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, among other high-profile personalities. Bezos, a fellow billionaire, responded Sunday with a link to a report about a homeless shelter attached to an Amazon office building, noting that a portion of Twitter’s space could be converted, making it easier for employees who want to volunteer. Musk called the suggestion a"great idea."
People on Twitter weren’t sure whether to take Musk seriously."Amazingly ridiculous idea," one wrote.We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred, you have access to a world of in-depth analyses, investigative journalism, top opinions and a range of features. Journalism strengthens democracy. Invest in the future today.
